Wednesday, Jul 03, 2013

Reports about Shah Rukh Khan planning to have child through surrogacy have been hitting headlines.

The last May 9th, a birth certificate application from Masrani Women’s Hospital came to the Mumbai Metropolitan. The application mentioned Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan as parents of the child. Dr Arun Bamne, chief doctor in the Metropolitan conveyed that the child was born in 34 weeks, and that the child weighed 1.5 kilos.

The child was moved from Masrani Hospital to Nanavati Hospital in Juhu, Mumbai. Later the child was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital. Now, reports are that the child has been handed over to Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri, and that the child is in their residence.

‘Details about surrogate mother were not mentioned. Reports reveal that the surrogate mother is close relative of Shah Rukh’s wife. Also, Shah Rukh’s friends say that the surrogate mother has left for London.’

‘Metropolitan officials have mentioned that they received statement about child birth during June end. As reports went abuzz that the couple went for gender determination before birth of child, the statement was immediately forwarded to head office’, said the officials.

Indian law, which allows child birth through surrogacy, does not allow gender determination of child before birth. In a development, Shah Rukh Khan has denied reports that he went for child’s gender determination before birth.
